This tech is based on stolen labor, then I reject it. This tech intensifies racism, sexism, and class exploitation, then I reject it. This tech exploits workers in the Global South, then I reject it. This tech exacerbates env & climate problems, then I reject it. All these rationales are valid!

A thing I learned not too long ago is that when an LLM selects a token that leads it down an incorrect path (factually), it has no way to back up, or even know that it should back up, it's just on to the next likely bit. Literally every LLM is just posting their way through it. What an image.

Don't forget that @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social wants to let the GOP get away with all of this. He said let's turn the page and get on with business. He's on the side of the Nazis if he thinks this kind of thing is acceptable in the United States of America. This can't be allowed to slide. It can't.

One of the reasons I have always beaten such a loud drum on internal accountability is, these people test the waters to see what they can get away with. If people shrug off misbehavior rather than address it, these folks know they've found a good host space for their toxicity.

Swartz had been batchmates with Altman in the inaugural class of 2005 at the Silicon Valley incubator Y Combinator, and warned his friends about Altman shortly before his passing.
